What teams/GM's make the worst trades?
I was just thinking about the Telfair trade and how that trade worked out in our favor. I think there are some teams/GM's who make poor trades more often then not, and those are perhaps the teams that the Blazers should be looing to trade with. The Wolves? The Celtics? The Nicks? What teams/GM's do you think are the worst in the NBA tradewise?

Bill Simmons' 'atrocious GM summit'.
Interesting that he didn't throw Danny Ainge in there. What a homer!

Knicks.
Sporting News just ran an article on worst franchises in pro sports. (BTW, Blazers did not even make runner ups). Knicks won against the worst franchises in hockey, baseball and football.

Re: What teams/GM's make the worst trades?
Bob Whittsit made some great moves. He made some boneheaded ones too for sure, but I certainly wouldn't list him as one of the worst. He never GM'd a losing roster (granted he would have had he stayed a couple more years.)

Re: What teams/GM's make the worst trades?
after reading the knicks column, I don't see how it's humanly possible we are even in the running.
wow.
not only that, after reading the one about the Orioles, I almost wonder if they just threw a dart at a board and went with it.

Thats bad drafting, not bad trading. The latest Joe Johnson deal was not that bad and our trade record in King era is not that bad either. But drafting...my goodness.

We passed on Paul too. But who knows, maybe in2024 Martell will really start to pan out.

Samuel, thanks for posting that comedy routine by Simmons; that was really hilarious, and I really don't feel so bad about Nash now.

Whitsitt almost destroyed an entire franchise, so I'll say him.

John Nash is the worst GM Portland has ever had.
